Any way to rename / tag bookmarks?

[Nocxium]

Hi Ive tried to find a option that lets me rename the bookmark, but i cant seem to find it. It would be really helpful if we could search for specific bookmarks in our workflow.

You can add a bookmark to group, functions same as tagging. And you can define what each group name is. Basically you press ctrl+g on a bookmark to add into group, press ctrl+g multiple times and you can cycle towards all defined groups in the config file.

You can read more about it here: https://github.com/Eisa01/mpv-scripts/issues/62#issuecomment-1289274982

Thanks for the quick reply!

This is awesome, and gets 50% of what i want :) However it would still be really good if there is a way to actually rename the bookmark itself, since i like to make multiple bookmarks in a single video for different topics, which i can then easily search through with the LogManager.

I understand your use-case, there is actually a way to do what you're requesting but by using a "workaround". Perhaps I'll make it easier in the future without requiring opening the log but not anytime soon because it will require a lot of time (which I currently lack).

Steps for workaround:

• Change how the list is displayed to include the title when opening LogManager list_content_text=%number%. %title%%0_duration%%duration%%0_keybind%%keybind%%0_group%%group%%1_group%\h\N\N
• Now open the log file and rename the current logged title
  • Open mpvBookmark.log and rename any title you need; the title is stored immediately after the date with double quotes e.g.:"this is a sample" |.
  • Below is a log file that has 3 bookmarks renamed and the first one with no changes.

    [2023-04-26T21:05:36] "Bleach 06 [SD] [Eisa].avi" | C:\Users\user\Desktop\Misc\Bleach 06 [SD] [Eisa].avi | length=1394.602936 | time=1173.2982982983 | 
    [2023-04-26T21:05:39] "Amazing Food Scene" | C:\Users\user\Desktop\Misc\Bleach 06 [SD] [Eisa].avi | length=1394.602936 | time=992.78445111778 | 
    [2023-04-26T21:05:41] "End of the Fight" | C:\Users\user\Desktop\Misc\Bleach 06 [SD] [Eisa].avi | length=1394.602936 | time=744.86986986987 | 
    [2023-04-26T21:05:43] "Beggining of the fight" | C:\Users\user\Desktop\Misc\Bleach 06 [SD] [Eisa].avi | length=1394.602936 | time=455.16349683016 | 

Now when you open the bookmark list in mpv, the renamed bookmark will be displayed, now you can use search and it will work for the renamed item or the path or the file name.

Hopefully this solves the issue.

Awesome :)

I will use this workaround for now. Would be great to have a feature where we could rename it directly from mpv, but i understand if it is too time consuming.

Thanks once again! Both for the reply, and a awesome script
